Editor pass - Handbook: Add intake process to product section (#5490)

* Editor pass - Handbook: Add intake process to product section

Editor pass for: https://github.com/fleetdm/fleet/pull/5411/files?short_path=9caafff#diff-9caafff19f6f52955d60ce0506a16292066d4d8f7365f2a5d73cbea4150403d7

@noahtalerman, I rewrote this in an active tone and changed "ejected" to "put to the side" out of concern that that didn't sound friendly. Let me know if I can be of more help.

* Update handbook/product.md

We track competitors' capabilities and adjacent (or commonly integrated) products in this [Google Doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bqdui6oQthdv5XtD5l7EZVB-duNRcqVRg7NVA4lCXeI/edit) (private).
### Intake process
Intake for new product ideas (requests) happens at the 🗣 Product office hours meeting.
At the 🗣 Product office hours meeting, the product team weighs all requests. When the team weighs a request, it is prioritized or put to the side.
The team prioritizes a request when the business perceives it as an immediate priority. When this happens, the team sets the request to be estimated or deferred within 5 business days.
The team puts a request to the side when the business perceives competing priorities as more pressing in the immediate moment.
#### Why this way?
At Fleet, we use objectives and key results (OKRs) to align the organization with measurable goals.
These OKRs fill up a large portion, but not all, of planning (drafting, wireframing, spec'ing, etc.)
and engineering capacity.
This means there is always some capacity to prioritize requests advocated for by customers, Fleet team members, and members of the
greater Fleet community.
> Note Fleet always prioritizes bugs.
At Fleet, we tell the requestor whether their
request is prioritized or put to the side within one business day from when the team weighs the request.
The 🗣 Product office hours meeting is a recurring ritual to make sure that the team weighs all requests.
#### Making a request
To make a request or advocate for a request from a customer or community member, Fleet asks all members of the organization to add their name and a description of the request to the list in the [🗣 Product office hours Google
doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mwu5WfdWBWwJ2C3zFDOMSUC9QCyYuKP4LssO_sIHDd0/edit#heading=h.zahrflvvks7q).
Then attend the next scheduled 🗣 Product office hours meeting.
All members of the Fleet organization are welcome to attend the 🗣 Product office hours meeting. Requests will be
weighed from top to bottom while prioritizing attendee requests.
This means that if the individual that added a feature request is not in attendance, the feature request will be discussed towards the end of the call if there's time.
All 🗣 Product office hours meetings are recorded and uploaded to the [🗣 Product office hours
folder](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nsjqDyX5WDQ0HJhg_2yOaqBu4J-hqRIW) in the shared
Google drive.

### Intake process
Intake for new product ideas (requests) happens at the 🗣 Product office hours meeting.
At the 🗣 Product office hours meeting, all requests are weighed. When a request is weighed, it is prioritized or ejected.
A request is prioritized when perceived as an important near-term priority by the business. When this happens, the request is set to be estimated or deferred within the next 5 business days.
